Lebanon's National News Agency reported today that an Ethiopian domestic worker tried to escape from the house of her employers in Bshamoun, tying bed sheets together and using them as a rope, and climbing down from the 6th floor balcony. The "rope" sheets cut and the Ethiopian girl fell on a B.M.W. car parked near the building. She died instantly. No further information was given.
